Have De La Rue's shares ever split?
De La Rue's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 November 2008. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your De La Rue shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for De La Rue shares which in turn could have impacted De La Rue's share price.
De La Rue share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, De La Rue's shares have ranged in value from as little as 36.8644p up to 187p. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that De La Rue's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
